A pioneer in the field of telecommunications.
Named after the famous Scotish pioneer, the travel bug wants to connect itself to the first telephone exchange in New Haven, Connecticut, USA.
|
A pioneer in the field of telecommunications, Alexander Graham Bell was born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He moved to Ontario, and then to the United States, settling in Boston, before beginning his career as an inventor. Throughout his life, Bell had been interested in the education of deaf people.
This interest lead him to invent the microphone and, in 1876, his "electrical speech machine," which we now call a telephone.
By 1878, Bell had set up the first telephone exchange in New Haven, Connecticut. By 1884, long distance connections were made between Boston, Massachusetts and New York City.
Bell imagined great uses for his telephone, but would he ever have imagined telephone lines being used to transmit video images?
Since his death in 1922, the telecommunication industry has undergone an amazing revolution.
Fiber optics are improving the quality and speed of data transmission. Actually, your ability to access this information relies upon telecommunications technology. Bell's "electrical speech machine" paved the way for the Information Superhighway.
I would very much like to go home now. I'm dirty and tired of traveling and other new phones are much better than the good old me.
I would like to go the center of the Netherlands, where me owners can pick me up. Who could take me those last miles!
